Three More Videos From 'Pacific Rim' Use A Ship For Batting Practice

It seems like just yesterday we had three videos from Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim. Oh, right, it was. Well, here are three more. The first is a clip which starts with Charlie Day almost getting eaten by one of the Kaiju before one of the robot Jaegers intervenes by using a ship as a baseball bat. If you don’t want to see a monster get beat up with a ship, we can’t be friends.

The other two videos are featurettes loaded with new footage. One’s about the monsters and the other one’s about oh just watch it. Why are we even describing it? This movie has robots punching monsters. I’m starting to feel like we’ve said all we can say about robots punching monsters. To paraphrase what Samuel Jackson said about Snakes on a Plane, “You either want to see that, or you don’t.”

I’ll be surprised if this movie doesn’t do well. There was an audience for Cloverfield and that was a Kaiju movie. Avatar was way out there as far as concepts went, and people still threw money at it. And Transformers made bajillions even though it could have been written by a fourth grader and directed by a Red Bull fueled adolescent in between marathon sessions of Call of Duty.

Guys, there’s something seriously wrong with this movie from all the footage I’ve seen: even amidst all the chaos, rain and destruction I can tell what’s going on.

It actually looks like the cameraman *wasn’t* sitting on a mechanical bull as he shot this. What gives? Doesn’t Del Toro know that we’re not supposed to be able to follow what’s going on and that the camera should look like it’s sitting in a paint shaker even when people are just standing around? Pretty big ball drop there, Guillermo…
